Canada’s Bill C-22 just passed third reading, rushed through with limited debate. It lets the government compel companies to build backdoors into encryption.

Signal and NordVPN have said they’ll leave Canada entirely if it passes. Apple and Meta are urging amendments.

Here’s what a backdoor mandate can’t touch: an app with no company to compel and no server to weaken. You can’t order a backdoor into something that has no door.

Privacy apps love the phrase "zero-knowledge", which tells you nothing. Simply put, I built Catchlight so I can't read your notes. Not "we promise not to look", genuinely can't.

They're encrypted on your phone with a key only you hold, before they ever leave the device. If Considus vanished tomorrow, your notes wouldn't even notice.

Cybersecurity is about digital trust, but that trust is under pressure. Bart Preneel in Knack: #encryption is essential yet increasingly undermined by government interference. The future lies in computing on encrypted data so even cloud providers can’t see it.

🚨 The EU's controversial "Chat Control" proposal is back.

EU governments are reportedly trying to revive rules that could allow private messages to be scanned for child sexual abuse material, reigniting the debate over encryption, privacy, and mass surveillance. The proposal remains highly controversial and has not become law.

Law enforcement agencies do not need to jeopardize the digital safety of billions of users to investigate crime effectively.

Breaking #encryption introduces systemic vulnerabilities that criminals and hostile states will exploit, making the Internet less safe for everyone.

LastPass breached again. Today. Via a third-party supplier.

This is not a one-off. It’s the architecture. Every centralized service, password manager, messenger, or platform is a target because it holds data worth stealing.

SecurityWeek’s headline today: “Attackers are no longer breaking in ; they’re logging in.”

No account means nothing to log into.

#privacy #infosec #encryption #tor #foss #android #cybersecurity

Zerion 2.0.5 is live on Google Play.

A serverless messenger has a hard problem: no server holds your account, so how do you move to a new phone?

Zerion's answer: back up your whole account to an encrypted file (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM), or pass it straight to your new phone over Tor with a safety-number check. Only you ever hold the key.

No phone number. No metadata. Post-quantum encryption on every message, all over Tor.

Following user outcry, #AMD reinstates #memory #encryption in consumer CPUs

Consumer AMD CPUs will once again offer encryption protections against physical attacks after facing user backlash for silently removing the feature.

As Ars reported last week, AMD stripped the protection, known as #TSME , from consumer #Ryzen processors. Short for Transparent Secure Memory Encryption, TSME encrypts the entire contents stored in memory, making the data useless to adversaries performing cold boot attacks and similar intrusions requiring physical access.

" Governments have tried to use export controls to limit the proliferation of what they see as dangerous cyber technology for decades, but their track record has been middling at best.

The U.S. government was behind what is perhaps history’s most spectacular failure of this approach in the early to mid-1990s. At the time, computer scientists were developing encryption technologies to secure data as it traveled over the internet. One of those encryption products was called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP, a popular software that could encrypt data and make it virtually impossible to unscramble even if intercepted as it traveled to its intended recipient over the internet.

The U.S. government initially saw PGP as a dangerous weapon, fearing it would prevent its intelligence agencies from snooping on emails as they crossed their wires. To stop the distribution of PGP, the U.S. Customs Service opened a criminal investigation against PGP’s creator Phil Zimmermann for allegedly violating arms export controls. He fought back by publishing PGP’s source code as a printed book, igniting what is known today as the “Crypto Wars.”

Zimmermann later won a key battle when the investigation was closed, paving the way for crucial end-to-end encryption algorithms such as the one used by billions of Signal and WhatsApp users."
